    Ok, just tabbed out a rough version of Lyle Meador's break (I believe) from Karl Shiflett's "In Full Color" album. I have my struggles and successes playing all downstroke solos but this appears to take the cake for speed, accuracy and tone.

    Is this guy playing--as I believe him to be--all downstrokes with the exception of some triplet tremolo? If so, is he missing bones in his wrist or something? That seems nuts to me.

    Good stuff no matter how you slice it; it sure sets the bar high.

    Yes, pretty much. Once you start with the downstrokes, sometimes it's hard to stop.

    Amen to that. One of my current mini-projects is to practice shifting from down-stroke heavy to alternate without a hitch.

    Somehow I missed this thread the first time through. Thanks for sharing Fred. At first listen this sounds within in reason until you pick up your mandolin and try it....That is really fast for down strokes!
